The Rural Voice, 1993-10, Page 39the Iakeshore, from the mammoth
resorts like Point Farms Hotel near
Goderich where 200 guests could be
accommodated at $8-$10 a week
room and board, to the smaller hotels
like the Walker House in Kincardine.
Later people stopped coming to
the resorts, deciding instead to build
their own cottages and villages like
Bayfield and Grand Bend, close to
cities like London, led the way.
The book is a pleasant read but not
satisfactory as a reference work. Orr
has a scattergun style that mixes little
bits of information rather than taking
one topic and developing it. Even
though there are separate sections for
settlement, early commerce, the
fishing industry, etc. little tidbits of
information keep jumping from one
category to another so that if you try
to find something you remember
reading, you can look for a long time.
Still, it's a pleasant and
educational way to learn more about
this part of our heritage that few of us
remember. — Keith Roulsion
